Reversing a Commitment Carryforward

Use

If open commitment documents were carried forward to the new fiscal year by mistake, you can undo the carryforward.

Integration

If you have also carried forward the corresponding budget for commitment to the new fiscal year, you must start the carryover of commitment budget again in the old year for the documents transferred back. For further information, see Carrying Forward Budget to the New Fiscal Year . The ensures that the budget already available in the new year once again belongs to the commitment transferred back to the old year.

Prerequisites

The system only moves document line items back to the old year if they were previously carried forward to the new year by the commitments carryforward. Documents that were not generated until the new fiscal year cannot be transferred to the previous fiscal year.

The documents must have the same account assignment that they have following the commitments carryforward. This is also true if the document was reassigned within the framework of the commitments carryforward. If a document was again reassigned following a commitments carryforward, this change must first be reversed.

You must limit document selection so that the system can process the whole document. The selection criteria must match the individual document line items. This prerequisite also applies to individual account assignment lines of purchase orders assigned to a number of accounts.

Note Note

You want to move all documents that were assigned to funds center S2 back into the old year. Document A, which was carried forward, consists of two document line items with differing account assignments:

Item 1: Commitment item F1, Funds center S1

Item 2: Commitment item F1, Funds center S1

In this case, you are not allowed to limit selection to funds center S2 .
